2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft. All One Bar, London. Red in appearance and red in aroma and flavor, that is, cherries and strawberries. This reminded me of what Frankenberry cereal would taste like if it were liquid — and cherry. Sweet and fruity in aroma and taste. Bubbly mouthfeel and thin body. I would have preferred more sourness, but if you’re in the mood for a sweet cherry beer with alcohol, this would not be unpleasant.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from 1995 at Kulminator, Antwerp.
A lot of cherries in both aroma and flavor, sweetness was not at all too sweet. No acidity and no carbon dioxide. Quite interesting.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice read colour... looks somewhat like raspberry syrup poured in with club soda. Nice head that is kind of thick. It smells like well, I think everyone here could figure out that it smells like berries. The taste is a little bit sour and tastes like cherries. It is not too sweet and overpowering with the sweetness though. Not too bad.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Burgundy in colour, with aromas of cherry and balsamic vinegar. Unfortunately the cherry flavor of this beer is more like "fake" or "processed" cherry than the real thing. Other earthy flavors are apparent as well. I think this bottle might have been corked. Finished dry. No balance to this one at all.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
330mL bottle pouring hazy red with light pink head. Aroma of cherries, initial tastes of sweet cherries finishing slightly tart. Good carbonation and medium body give a good mouthfeel.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Dark, red coloured with a slim pink head. Aroma is cherry and medicinal-ish. Disappointing flavour, cherry, medicinal and wood, no nice sourness to be seen. Poor mouthfeel.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark amber bordering on brown. Tight, white head is large and lasting, leaving behind full sheets of lacing. Sour cherry aroma has hints of oak. Flavor is not strong of cherries, surprisingly. The fruity sourness is there, but comes off as slightly artificial and medicinal. Bitter woody finish is a little off. Not overly carbonated, which is nice. Still, I've had better lambics.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap. Strong dark red colour with a soft blanket of foam that laces the glass. Trat bitter aroma is surprisingly pleasant, as is the flavour. Strong lingering cherry aftertaste.
